Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 0 to taste Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch, ensuring the rice cooks properly.

Step 2

Place the rinsed sushi rice and water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve. Once the rice finishes cooking, remove it from the heat and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Ensure your salmon is sushi-grade and has been kept cold. Slice the salmon into long, thin strips suitable for rolling.

Step 5

Peel and slice the avocado into thin wedges. Peel and cut the cucumber into long matchsticks, discarding the seeds.

Step 6

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 7

With wet hands, spread a quarter of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top to seal the roll.

Step 8

Arrange a few strips of salmon, avocado slices, and cucumber matchsticks horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 9

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom edge, pressing gently to shape the roll. Continue rolling until you reach the top border of nori.

Step 10

Moisten the top edge with a little water to seal the roll. Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 11

Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 8 equal pieces, cleaning the blade between cuts with a damp cloth for precision.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping, ensuring they remain dairy-free.
